any ideas?

i have four wilds at £5 a spin. I have the option to continue to respin the third reel for spins costing me £218 and may hit 5wilds. It could cost me of course... What would you do?

Personally I hate these slots with a passion.

I wouldn't bet $200+ on a spin unless I knew exactly what the odds were.

x4 wilds on a 1024 win lines slot, 4 reel slots to fill, Stef would have to be incredibly unlucky to get a hit well under the spin cost, the worse case scenario is a spin with a scatter/bonus symbol filling one of the slots, imho you cannot go wrong with x4 wilds on an adjacent payline slot ;).
 
decisions decisions ....in any case....please let us know the outcome of this ;)
Ok...thought about it for a bit....it'sgambling, you already won the price of the spin....almost....wth ...I would go for it :)
 
Ok i did about eight spins ( Does everyone understand that you can respin as many times as you want?) with wins ranging from 160 to about 300 but now my balance has dropped below the respin cost. Of course , i can make another deposit...

I need to be sure what the 5 wilds will pay.Its say 1000 coins. What exactly does that mean?

Its a very clever game because it keeps you playing and suggests you have some genuine control in a slots game which you never normally have.

shall i redeposit?

Here`s where MGS are very sneaky, you would think that the coin value in this case would be .50p, but it may not be, as like TSII with a base coin value of .30p when it comes to a x-coin based win the coin value is a meagre .01p, if the coin value was .50p it would yield a win of 500 as you are playing x10 coins it would be 500 x 10 = 5000, if however this slots coin value is .50p then it is a whole different ball game, log on and open live chat and see if a pit boss is available and ask him/her ;).

P.S.

This doesn`t include the wins generated by the wilds ofc, of which there would be hundreds of 5 reel win combos if you hit the other wild:).

it's really a mean situation....you'll never get a better shot at a big win, but then again ... how much are you willing to bet on it happening ?. It's gambling, and it could suck you VERY dry. What a shitty situation, and I'm not saying what I would do now :)
 
5 wilds by itself doesnt pay very much, but you will get all the other pay symbols multiple times.

I was playing this game the other day and you often get multiple wilds. I have tried the respin feature before and it will send you broke unless you are very lucky and keep on spinning the needed winning symbol which is unlikely. The only time it might be worth it is to try and win the free spin feature and even then I would only do it very occassionaly.
 
I also dont really like this new feature in the new mg slots. I can see why it might appeal to some players. Each to there own. In this case like with any other slot play if you keep playing long enough on the respin the house edge will kick in and eventually eat your bank roll unless you hit somthing massive.

Its gamble all the way I would probably limit myself to a set number of respins win or loose, then let them go. But thats just me.

And thats exactly why I HATE this new feauture.
They are so smart at MG headquarters.
This feauture teases you into betting FAR above your budget, it makes you think you can hit that big one now, but the price is just far too high.

Does anyone really believe that they created this feauture-from-hell to make it easier to win for the player?
Let me help you out of the dream, the did NOT.
They made it for only ONE purpose, to suck you dry even faster.:mad:

There should be an option to disable this crapfeauture, just like you can disable the gamble feauture.
Responsible gaming, right? What a joke.

In short, no, I would not redeposit.
Lesson learned, it sucks big time, but leave that feauture alone, unless you can afford $200.- bets ofcourse.

It could well be "the feature from hell" nice phrase btw ;) but one always has the choice not to use the respin feature ... but it can be tempting which is why I aint touched these slots after a few spins early on when they were released. These kind of slots seem to be aimed at high rollers only.

Or sucking low rollers into becoming high rollers.
 
thanks ..you are gradually convincing me its not going to be in my best interest to play.

If i had known the respin could be potentially so high i would not have bet £5 a spin and gone for 0.50p say adn i would only be questioning whether to part with £20 per respin!

I wonder if 4 wilds come up a lot but the fifth one rarely so!

That was my thought, exactly....why on earth would you do $5/spin on a sucker like that...then figured you must be one of them rich highrollers, going for the big win. If that was the case, how much closer could you get, if you could afford, and if you dared chase it ?
What a shitty feature all together....I think I'll stay clear of those :)

Totally agree - in fact as I have stated before, I would like to see this type of slot totally banned.

The temptation to place a HUGE bet for a shot of a "jackpot" is just too great, as I found out myself on the first of these that MG released; Reel Gems;
In the screenshot below I had been playing at £1.25 per spin when I got 4 of the top-pay symbols. I can't remember which one was missing now, but I think it was reel 2. On a moment of impulse I paid £33.27 to spin that reel - and the Diamond hit! That was the WORST thing that could of happened, because of course, the thought then is "I can do it again!"
If you get lucky and hit it a few times you'll be quids in, but a bad run and you'll be bust in seconds. :mad:

As for the chances for getting the symbol you want, well that is obviously reflected in the cost of spinning each reel; In my example below, the Diamond is clearly more than 4 times more likely to land on reel 4 than it is on reel 1, as the cost is more than 4 times higher.

Basically all these slots do is give you MASSIVE variance; the RPT is not effected by the ability to spin each reel separately, but players are "encouraged" to place WAY bigger bets than they normally would do.
Personally I think these slots are evil. :icon_evil

Well i played a couple more and decided to play a simple £5 spin thus destroying the chance of me going back in at some later date.

Incidently that £5 spin i did to end the torture produced a wild symbol in the reel I was respinning earlier.

If i ever play this again it will be at very very low stakes like 10p and it will just to see what happens.

I agree its an evil game.
 
despite what i said above..I went back in at 50p and surprise surprise it didn't take me long to get to 4 wilds again:

And would you beleive it ..i hit the 5th wild.. and it only gives me £44.
The game is crap but at least it won't haunt me anymore...

Anyway, there isn't much to do now i guess? Whats the best reel to spin now!
 
This game is so unethical.

Responsible gambling ...my arse! (excuse the language)

Its just designed to suck higher and higher stakes out of people.

Reminds me of an old and evil fairground game called Razzle.

I can't play this game, but am curious as to why it isn't showing anything between the Hot Ink symbol and the star on reel 1 and the Hot Ink symbol and the 8-balls(?) on reel 4 as shown in post #22?

Winning symbols? They flash...
